Believe it or not I bought Accurate Boss model 270 by mistake. I thought it can be used as a baitcasting reel. However it is a conventional trawling/boating reel. I tried casting a few time but the line got entangled like noodles all over the reel. Must go to sea or use a boat for fresh water fishing. The reel is precision made using state of the art raw materials. For example body is machined from T6 aluminium (same kind used for airplane bodies), bearings are Taflon impregnated stainless steel 306 (food grade), gear pinions are same steel but no Taflon. Drag washers are Titanium. Even lettering and logo seem to be laser etched, so fine and beautiful often varying colours under direct or incident light. But alas! Till now i have no chance to use it yet!
